SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
KC-4075.3
Handling Outboard Engines
• Never disable the neutral switch start-in-gear prevention system
to accommodate installation of a foot control or other option.
Always test the neutral switch and emergency stop switch before
returning an engine to the customer.
SERVICE SAFETY
• Lifting devices and hardware must be of suitable capacity for the
weight of the outboard engine. Some models are equipped with
a fixed hanger on the powerhead. Hanger may be used to lift the
complete engine or to remove the powerhead unit. Be aware the
engine may swing outward when lifted by the hanger.
• Engine stands must be in good condition, of adequate size, and
mounted properly to prevent unexpected shifting or collapse.
• Engine covers are guards to prevent personal contact with the
spinning flywheel and high voltage components such as spark
plugs and coils. Never wear jewelry or loose clothing near a
running engine. Keep hands, arms and hair away from the
flywheel. Never touch electrical components when the engine is
running.
•Two people working on a running engine must use extreme caution
and be aware of one another. Never attempt to start an engine or
operate any controls, including steering, before signaling your
partner.
•To prevent accidental startup during operations which may cause
the flywheel to turn, always perform the following steps:
1. Turn the ignition key to OFF and remove the key.
KC-5000
KC-4090
2. Disable the engine ignition system.
3. Shift engine to NEUTRAL and verify propeller shaft is not in
gear.
• Rotating propellers are not equipped with guards and can cause
severe injury or dismemberment. Always stay clear of rotating
propellers and make sure there is no possibility of engine startup
before removing or installing a propeller. The propeller nut must
always be tightened to torque specification prior to starting the
engine.

SECTION 1
KC-5050
•Avoid running the engine at high RPM. Engine speed can easily
increase to excessive RPM when under a no load condition. To
avoid engine damage during testing, always use the correct test
propeller and keep engine speed below 2000 RPM.
• Run engines only in well ventilated areas to prevent exposure to
Carbon Monoxide (CO) gas. Direct and prolonged exposure to
CO wiII cause brain damage or death.
• Always wear eye protection, protective clothing, gloves and use
other applicable safety equipment when work activities present
the risk of personal injury.
Lead Acid Batteries
• Never check battery charge by placing a metal object across the
terminal posts; sparks may occur, resulting in serious burns.
•Avoid contact with battery acid. lf battery acid is spilled on skin,
thoroughly wash area with plenty of water. If battery acid gets
into eyes, flush eyes with water for at least 15 minutes and get
prompt medical attention.
• Never remove charger cables from a battery when the charger is
energized; sparks and explosion are possible. To remove charger
cables, follow these steps:
1. Turn the charger to OFF.
2. Disconnect the charger power cord from its power source.
3. Remove the charger cables from the battery posts.
• Batteries emit explosive vapor through the vented caps during
charging. Never charge or test batteries near sparks or flames;
explosion can result. Extinguish all smoking materials and flame
producing devices before charging and make sure the charging
area is weII ventilated.
KC-5032
KC-4080
• Make sure battery vents are not clogged or pressure may build
and cause battery to explode.

Hazardous Materials
KC-5001
• Gasoline vapors are highly flammable and can cause an
explosion. Never smoke or allow sparks or flames nearby when
handling fuel Always store gasoline in a shaded, well ventilated
area in an approved safety container.
•Ventilate gasoline fumes as soon as detected. Be aware that
appliance pilot lights, such as those in furnaces and water
heaters, can ignite gasoline vapors and cause explosion.
• Never use gasoline as a cleaner, and always clean up fuel spills
immediately and properly dispose of rags in an approved safety
container.
• Read and follow the safety labels on products used around the
shop. Adhesives, lubricants, solvents, and fuel additives are
usually poisonous and flammable. Store and dispose of these
products properly.
Shop Environment
• Make sure the shop and your work area are properly ventilated.
SERVICE SAFETY
KC-5040
KC-0135
• Shops must be equipped with the proper tools and safety
equipment such as fire extinguisher, eye flushing device, and first
aid kit.
• Keep the shop clean and free of clutter. Clean up spills on the
floor as soon as possible to prevent someone from slipping.
WORKMANSHIP STANDARDS
1. Avoid damage to the mating surfaces of crankcase and cylinder
assembly. Do not use a sharp metal scraper to clean these areas.
2. Replace gaskets, O-rings, seals, cotter pins, lock nuts, and spring
pins when removed during repair operations.
3. Use only genuine factory replacement parts and accessories.
4. Use recommended special tools when specific repairs require
them.

8. Keep all removed parts separated for ease of identification during
assembly.
9. Locate alignment marks on components being disassembled. If
marks are not present and should be, scribe or match mark them
yourself to ensure the pieces are assembled properly.
10. Follow torque sequences and specifications where they apply.
First, tighten each bolt in the specified sequence. Use the same
sequence to torque each bolt to final specification. Special torque
specifications are listed at the beginning of each section. Standard
torque specifications for common fasteners are listed in Section 3.
11. Use lubricant when assembling seals to prevent damage to the
seal lips. Make sure seal lips are facing the correct direction.
12. Use the correct type and amount of sealing compound on metal
to metal surfaces.
13. When using compressed air to clean or dry parts, make sure air

TEST TANK GUIDELINES
When properly setup, test tanks provide a safe and controlled environment
in which to perform outboard engine adjustment and testing procedures.
Test tanks must be setup to the minimum dimensions shown. If multiple
engines wiII be installed in the tank, secure partition plate
minimum dimensions are maintained for each outboard engine installed.
In addition, adhere to the following guidelines to prevent engine damage:
• Continuous usage raises the water temperature in the tankwhich
can lead to engine seizure. Make sure water temperature in the
tank does not exceed 77°F [25°C].
• Repeated use introduces carbon into the water which can adhere
to the engine cooling system and degrade its ability to cool the
engine. Always replace dirty tank water at regular intervals with
clean, fresh water.
• Exhaust gases produced during engine operation can collect
around the engine, causing suction into the carburetors and
affecting engine performance. To prevent this condition, install
forced ventilation equipment
